Show Thread Enhancements - vBorg Thread Rating

Update 08/21/07: Made a template change that should address the issue with the rating box still being visible after a thread has been rated. [link]

There seemed to be multiple requests for this, so here it is. This is a clone of the thread rating system you see in the modifications section of vBorg.

For a demo, scroll up to the big orange rectangle, select "Excellent" then click "Vote Now!".

Installation is simple. Just replace your current SHOWTHREAD template with the attached file. That's it.

For those with a modified SHOWTHREAD (or just for those who enjoy doing things the hard way), here are the required modifications:

In SHOWTHREAD:


FIND and DELETE:

That should do it.

I may have spoken too soon. Now when one user votes, the rating is displayed for everyone, not just the user that voted instead of having the voting box for those who have not yet voted.

Hello, very nice hack !!

is possible to select this by FORUM ?

EDIT -> Sorry, found in forum & modérators -> Forums manager -> your forum -> Allow Thread rating in this forum -> NO ;-)

[snowlion]

after all, find and delete if you want (this will delete Rate This Thread popup menu)

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
		<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadrating" nowrap="nowrap">
			<a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_threadrating"><span id="threadrating_current"><if condition="$show['rating']">$vbphrase[rating]: <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$thread[rating].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>" border="0" /><else />$vbphrase[rate_thread]</if></span></a>
			
		</td>
	</if>

[MissKalunji]

is there a way to only assign this to only CERTAIN section not every forums?

[magnus]

Using conditionals, you could do almost anything.

ie.

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == #"></if>

[brvheart]

*installs* thank you for this

Thanks, ngocha85!

[kushal]

In Internet explorer, after submitting the vote it shows the following errors:
'Object doesn't support this property or method'

Whereas I had three boards, and on two I loaded the default file 'copy-paste', and for one I made the edits.

Can you help me resolve this!

regards,

[obmob]

Oh i'll try this, thanks.
